Farmer sues over scared chickens
A German farmer has gone to court after claiming a hot air balloon scared his chickens.
Johann Stresen, 47, told a court in Osnabrueck that his 20,000 birds were so frightened they stopped laying eggs.
He is claiming £18,000 in damages because the Dutch hot air balloon flew just 75ft over his farm instead of the 350ft required by law.

im going to sue you over what you just said cause somehow it hurt my feelings and i have emotional damge lol
By all means he should sue. 20,000 chickens will lay a TON of eggs. If he can't sell the eggs because the chickens were frightened by the hot air balloon, then that's a TON of money that he has lost. Now he will have to kill a few chickens because he cant feed them or himself.
Damn hot air balloons!
Damn hot air balloons!
